Allan Starr, manager at the Blue Bell, on Oswald Road in Scunthorpe , said: "The majority of gins in the festival have not been available in the pub beforehand and I am looking forward to serving them.

"The festival promises to be great fun and I am certain that customers will enjoy trying the superb range of gins we have on offer."

The gin festival will be held at JD Wetherspoon's Blue Bell Inn and White Horse pubs in Scunthorpe and Brigg

The gins will range in price from £2.75 to £4.50 (single measure) and include a free mixer.

All of the gins will be served in a Copa de Balon glass, which is bulbous in shape, like a balloon, and is perfect for drinking gin and tonic.
